They DID make 285 tyres - Roydon has a pair.........."U" bolts will probably fit BUT in theory you are supposed to change them once you have taken them off though many people do re-use them....They are to fit 3" Tube, WASP used to sell them, not had to come by.....

Take a proper look at my car Rob . It isn't jacked up.It did however have rock hard rear suspension Unlike most of the Chargers and other b-bodys I have seen. The front was lowered on the torsion bars. ;)

Is there any place that can re arch the springs? that is what alot of yanks do and some add a leaf,

I replaced the leaf springs on my challenger, cause they sagged right from the factory, and I bought new springs 2 years ago and they already sag, just my :mytwocents:

your car looks great either way , :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

Does this need raising? I know they should have that typical stance but not keen on the drastic stance but I'm thinking this almost looks like the rear suspenders has broken?

It has 1.5" blocks currently?

Id lower the front. Back looks just right :)
